Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a 

new airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

airplanes with certain Pacific Scientific 

Company rotary buckle assemblies 

(buckles) installed. This AD was 

prompted by a report of a manufacturing 

defect in the screws used inside the 

buckle. This proposed AD would 

require inspecting the buckle screws, 

and depending on the results, 

reidentifying the buckle, replacing the 

screws and reidentifying the buckle, or 

replacing the buckle. This proposed AD 

would also prohibit installing certain 

buckles. The FAA is proposing this AD 

to address the unsafe condition on these 

products.

Background 

The FAA has received a report of a 

manufacturing defect in the screws used 

inside Pacific Scientific Company 

buckle part number (P/N) 1111475 (all 

dash numbers) and P/N 1111548–01. 

The screws used to fasten the load plate 

to the body of the buckle were found to 

be susceptible to hydrogen 

embrittlement due to improper baking 

during the electroplating process. This 

condition leads the screwhead to 

separate from the body of the screw 

when under load, which could result in 

the buckle failing to restrain the 

occupant to the seat. This issue was 

originally identified from a suspected 

lot of screws, Lot 348994–A. Since then, 

a buckle failed in an accident, calling 

into question Lot 348601–A. Lots 

348601–A and 348994–A were the first 

two lots of screws received by Pacific 

Scientific Company from a new supplier 

and are the only suspected lots. The 

suspected buckles were manufactured 

between January 2012 and September 

2012. The FAA is proposing this AD to 

address the unsafe condition on these 

products. 

The rotary buckle may be included as 

a component of a different partnumbered restraint system assembly. 

Table 1 of Parker Meggitt Service 

Bulletin (SB) 1111475–25–001–2023, 

Revision 001, dated December 1, 2023, 

and Parker Meggitt SB 1111548–25– 

001–2023, Revision 001, dated 

December 1, 2023 (SB 1111475–25–001– 

2023 Rev 001 and SB 1111548–25–001– 

2023 Rev 001), includes a list of these 

restraint system assembly P/Ns. 

This proposed AD would apply to all 

airplanes with a Pacific Scientific 

Company buckle P/N 1111475 (all dash 

numbers) or P/N 1111548–01 installed, 

if the buckle was manufactured between 

January 2012 and September 2012, or if 

the date of manufacture of the buckle is 

unknown. These same part-numbered 

buckles may also be installed in 

helicopters; however, the FAA 

determined that a shorter compliance 

time to accomplish the required actions 

is necessary for buckles installed in 

helicopters. Accordingly, the FAA 

issued AD 2024–01–11, Amendment 

39–22662 (89 FR 6008, January 31, 

2024), to address this unsafe condition 

on all helicopters with a Pacific 

Scientific Company buckle P/N 1111475 

(all dash numbers) or P/N 1111548–01 

installed. 

FAA’s Determination 

The FAA is issuing this NPRM after 

determining that the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop on other airplanes with a 

restraint system with a buckle as part of 

their type design. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

The FAA reviewed SB 1111475–25– 

001–2023 Rev 001 for buckle P/N 

1111475 and SB 1111548–25–001–2023 

Rev 001 for buckle P/N 1111548–01. 

This service information specifies 

procedures for inspecting the buckle for 

any missing or loose screw heads and, 

depending on the results, replacing the 

buckle and sending the removed buckle 

to Parker Meggitt for repair or 

replacement. If after that first 

inspection, all of the screw heads are 

intact, this service information specifies 

procedures for inspecting the buckle for 

any Torx head screws (alloy steel) and, 

depending on the results, allowing the 

buckle assembly to remain in-service 

temporarily, replacing any Torx head 

screws (alloy steel) with new hex head 

screws (stainless steel), and checking 

the functionality of the buckle. This 

service information also specifies 

procedures for removing a buckle from 

a restraint system, installing a buckle on 

a restraint system, and returning buckles 

to Parker Meggitt. If the buckle passes 

the specified inspections or is modified 

by replacing Torx head screws (alloy 

steel) with new hex head screws 

(stainless steel) screws, this service 

information specifies procedures for 

reidentifying the back of the buckle. 

This service information also identifies 

known affected restraint systems. 

This service information is reasonably 

available because the interested parties 

have access to it through their normal 

course of business or by the means 

identified in ADDRESSES. 

Proposed AD Requirements in This 

NPRM 

This proposed AD would require 

accomplishing the actions specified in 

the service information already 

described, except as discussed under 

‘‘Differences Between this Proposed AD 

and the Service Information.’’ 

Differences Between This Proposed AD 

and the Service Information 

The service information does not 

specify any compliance times, whereas 

this proposed AD would require 

accomplishing the required actions 

within twelve months. This proposed 

AD would also prohibit installing an 

affected buckle on any airplane. 

The service information specifies 

sending any damaged buckles to Parker 

Meggitt for repair or replacement, and 

this proposed AD would not. Instead, 

this proposed AD would require 

replacing the buckle with an airworthy 

buckle. 

The service information allows 

buckles with a Torx head (alloy steel) 

screw to remain in service temporarily 

and replaced at a time convenient to the 

operator, and this proposed AD would 

not. If a buckle has any number of Torx 

head (alloy steel) screws installed, this 

proposed AD would require replacing 

all four screws with hex head screws 

before further flight. 

If a screw head breaks off during 

disassembly of a buckle or if reassembly 

of a buckle is not possible, the service 

information specifies returning the 

buckle to Parker Meggitt, whereas this 

proposed AD would not. If a screw head 

breaks off during disassembly, this 

proposed AD would require replacing 

the buckle with an airworthy buckle. If 

reassembly of a buckle is not possible, 

then the buckle is not airworthy. 

Costs of Compliance 

The FAA estimates that this AD, if 

adopted as proposed, would affect 

11,714 buckles installed on restraint 

systems in aircraft worldwide. The FAA 

has no way of knowing the number of 

airplanes of U.S. Registry that may have 

a restraint system with an affected 

buckle installed. The estimated costs on 

U.S. operators reflects the maximum 

possible costs based on affected buckles 

installed on restraint systems in aircraft 

worldwide. Labor rates are estimated at 

$85 per work-hour. Based on these 

numbers, the FAA estimates the 

following costs to comply with this 

proposed AD:

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

buckle Cost on U.S. operators 

Inspecting a buckle ......................... .1 work-hour x $85 per hour = $9 .. $0 $9 Up to $105,426. 

The FAA estimates the following 

costs to do any necessary repairs that 

would be required based on the results 

of the proposed inspection. The agency 

has no way of determining the number 

of buckles that might need this repair: 

ON-CONDITION COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per buckle 

Replacing a set of screws (four) .... .5 work-hour × $85 per hour = 

$43.

nominal ......................................... $43. 

Replacing a buckle ........................ .5 work-hour × $85 per hour = 

$43.

$740 .............................................. $783. 

Reidentifying a buckle .................... minimal ......................................... nominal ......................................... nominal. 

The FAA has included all known 

costs in its cost estimate. According to 

the manufacturer, however, some of the 

costs of this proposed AD may be 

covered under warranty, thereby 

reducing the cost impact on affected 

operators. 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

Title 49 of the United States Code 

specifies the FAA’s authority to issue 

rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, 

section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the Agency’s 

authority. 

The FAA is issuing this rulemaking 

under the authority described in 

Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 

44701: General requirements. Under 

that section, Congress charges the FAA 

with promoting safe flight of civil 

aircraft in air commerce by prescribing 

regulations for practices, methods, and 

procedures the Administrator finds 

necessary for safety in air commerce. 

This regulation is within the scope of 

that authority because it addresses an 

unsafe condition that is likely to exist or 

develop on products identified in this 

rulemaking action. 

Regulatory Findings 

The FAA determined that this 

proposed AD would not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This proposed AD would not 

have a substantial direct effect on the 

States, on the relationship between the 

national Government and the States, or 

on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify this proposed regulation: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

(2) Would not affect intrastate 

aviation in Alaska, and 

(3) Would not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.
